. - ?ion
DAY, JAN. 26,-1893.
x<*ov. Tillman has appointed Prof.
H. T. Cook of Furmah University
and Prof. j. ?. McCain of Ersk'ine
College members of the State board
of examiners.*
It ifcvmaking those who oppose
the present administration "so|
tired "to see decision after decision
gent down from the Supreme Court
of the nation "souping" our State
court decisions.
Some of the Edgefield antis are
now hlleging that Ben Tillman has
"bamboozled" the Supreme Court
of the - United States. The only
comment we desire to make on this
assumption is, that it take a migh
ty big injun to do that kind of j
work.
If you wish to have a little fun
get a farmer wh<* voted against his
neighbors last, year and for Ring I
rule to explain why he did so. Of
course he can give no substantial
reason 'mt the effort to do so will
entertain you. 'We have seen it
tried and it is as good as a circus.
Medium.
Our State courts invariably de
cide all cases brought before them,
in which the State is a party,
against the State. The Supreme
Court of the United States on the
other hand as invariably decides |
in favor of the State. So says the
Abbeville Medium and we find it
so in fact.
It is not necessary to haye studied
geometry to be able to deduce
a corallary from this proposition.
Gov. Tillman has refunded the
State debt, the 6 per cent bonds
being substituted by 4? bonds.
This on the issue of $6,000,000, the
present State debt, is a saving of
$90,000 per annum. This seems to
us to be pretty fair financiering for
a plain farmer, and yet the antis
will tell you he ought to have re
funded the debt at 4 per cent. But
you will observe that John Peter
Richardson didn't do it. Indeed,
Col. John C. Haskell says the State
debt could not have been refunded
at 4 per cent, ancl he is the best
financier and political economist
on that side of the house.

AID FOR CONFEDERATE
SOLDIERS.
Governor Tillman, Comptroller
General Ellerbe and Chairman
Bratton, the special committee in
charge of the distribution of the
$5,000 appropriated by the General
Assembly for the purchase of
artificial limbs for Confedrate
soldiers ars ready to receive ap
plications. The money is j
available to those who received
any portion of the fuud appropriat
ed in 1881.
The law does not make any 1
provision for anyone who lost a |
limb or an eye who did not
'receive a portion of the last fund
for a similar purpose. The fund |
in 1880 was $33,000 and was all
consumed in the purchase of limbs.
The present fun4 is to be used in
the purchase of duplicates of the
old limbs. It is desired that all
Confederates be informed of this
fund and that they understand its
purpose. The money will be pro-1
rated among the applicants, as
there is no other way of knowing |
how many of the former bene
ficiaries are alive in the State.
The proof necessary is that the
applicant received a portion of
the fund when last distributed.
Which Side to Sleep On.
Medical Review: "Which side
should I sleep on, i doctor?" he in
quired. "In winter or summer?"
asked the doctor, rubbing his chin
thoughtfully. -".Vhat'fct that got
to do with it?" exclaimed the
patient- said angrily. "A great
deal." responded the doctor, mys
teriously. "I don't see it." "Of
course you don't," said the im
perturbable; "if you did, you
woludn't be here asking me ques
tions about ir. "Go ahead then,"
said the patient, sitting back
resignedly. "Well," continued the
doctor, "in winter, when it is cold,
you should sleep on the iuside, but
in such weather ;<.s this you should
sleep on the outside, in a hammock,
with a draught all around it and a
piece of ice for a pillow. Two dol
lars, please."

The celebrated Georgia politician
arid humorist, .Col. Ham, has !
added a new word to the English ?
language-"enollygoster." This ,
is the way. he giv.es the history of I
thia wonderful word :
"Along in the forties there lived
up in the mountains of Kabun
County, Ga., a man named John
Kelly. He had -a limited education
and an itch tor office. He ran for
everything, going up by regular
graduation from constable to clerk
of the court and was defeated
every time, but nothing daunted
tried it the next election for the
next highest office. In 1848 it
came time for him to be a candi
date for representative in the
legislature. As' there .was at?the
time Borne talk of war with
England'over the Niagara incident,
he announced as his platform that
it was the duty of the president to
seize all the roads leading to
Liverpool so as to pi event a salt
famine in case of war. As every
body recognized the necessity for
plenty of salt, it was a taking
slogan and Kelley was getting on
'swimmingly. , j
"Kelley's opponent was a tali,
gaunt mountaineer named Jonas
Gaines. He was justice of the
peace, and to use his own language
'knowedall the Jaw what wasn't
tore out of the 'books.' He had a
wonderful flow of language, using
all the big words he had ever heard
and coining many more without
any reference to what they might
mean, and yet, as such a man
naturally would,now aud then said
a really good thing. Superior court
coming on in the very heat and
burden of the canvass, a number
of the lawyers gathered at the
County seat from all over the
cicuit, and the bright idea struok
them of bringing about a joint
debate between Kelly and Gaine*.
"Kelly had the opening and
made a long, and as one of the
lawyers described it, 'a very able
bodied speech., He fumed and
foamed and fretted, and worked
his 6alt platform for all it was
worth and sat down amid great
cheering. Then up rose Gaines,
his tall form towering high in air,
and working his long arms like
the sails of a windmill and in a
voice that could' be heard half a
mile, proceded, as he expressed it
to 'take the hidejoff Kelly in flakes
as big as a hound's ears., He
'skinned him belly-wise up and
backwise down,' dissected his
record, enumerated his various

there's a dozen roads to the works.
The effect can be better imagined'

followers fled the scene, and Gaines
was triumphantly elected.
"And so to this humble, but
picturesque source, was the Georgia
orator indebted for the word that
has now by common consent come
to stand for the Kelly class of
demagogic politicians. It is one
of the curious specimens of native
originality which now and then
comes to enrich our language and
fill a long felt want bf something
to do the subject justice.
Abbeville's Sheriff Gets Left.
AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan. 21.-A
special to the Chronicle from
Greenwood, S. C., says: Sheriff
Nance of Abbeville County to-day
detained the through freight and
material train on the Port Royal
and Western Carolina Railroad by
a tax execution. Both trains were
stopped for two hours, and were
ordered to side-track to wait the
Sheriffs orders, but they pulled
out and left the chagrined official
to the amusement of a crowd of
citizens.
Jefferson Democracy.
"Fewdie and none resign," isa
summary of a phrase which origi
nated with Thomas Jefferson.
When he became President in
1801, he announced that all civil
offices held at pleasure and filled
by Adams after the result of the
election was surely known, were to
be cousidred vacant. Acting on this
principle, Eizur Goodrich was
removed from the collectorship
of New Haven to make room for
Samuel Bishop. Goodrich had
managed the affaire of the office
with honesty, ability and dispatch.
Bishop's- advanced age, feebleness
and lack of business training
made him an unfortunate choice,
and the merchants were highly
offended. Eighty of them, headed
by Elias Shipman, signed a re
monstrance. In his reply Jeffer
son said : "The will of the nation
calls for an administration in
harmony with the opinion of those
elected, For the fulfillment of
that will, displacements are neces
sary, and with whom can dis
placements more fittingly begin
than with placemeu appointed in
the last moments of a dying gover
nment,'not for its own aid, but fir
its successor's discomfiture? If a
due participation of office is a right
bow are vacancies to be obtained?
Those by death are few, by resi
gnation none."-Detroit Free
Press.)
